POTSDAM — Cinema 10 screens Happening / L'événement, a 2021 film from France directed by Audrey Diwan, on Monday, Nov. 14 at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater.
When Annie discovers she's pregnant, she decides to get an abortion in order to pursue her studies and improve her station in life.
But this is 1960s France, where abortion is still illegal.
Happening follows one woman's journey as she goes against the law in a film that's at times difficult to watch, but impossible to ignore.
Based on Annie Ernaux's (2022 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature) novel of the same name, "Happening is ... compassionate but brutally honest, and almost breathless in its chronicle of a struggle that has obviously stayed with the author for decades,” writes David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter.
Happening runs 100 minutes and is rated R for disturbing material and images, sexual content, and graphic nudity.
Tickets are $5.50 general / $45 season or $4.50 student/senior / $35 season (season tickets are sharable).
